Coming off consecutive road series victories in Cincinnati and Baltimore, the Milwaukee Brewers (10-4) will return home on Monday to begin a series with the San Diego Padres (8-9, pending Sunday evening’s results).
The Padres are in an interesting spot as a franchise. After consecutive years of shocking the baseball world with how much they spent trying to build a championship team and coming up short, they trimmed payroll this season, letting Josh Hader leave in free agency and trading Juan Soto to the New York Yankees a year before he is due to hit free agency himself.
